Hello.
Welcome back.
So in this video where and talk about domain options for host cater.
So let's head over to Firefox open that up and type in host skater dot com and we're in click on domains
and Let's type in the Find a domain name so we're going to use my example my domain 22 dot com see if
that's available and then you go so they churns twelve dollars for one year and ninety three dollars
for protection and for the domain itself.
Now if you remember in the previous video and named cheap was fifty seven dollars for five years.
So I'm not hating on the host kid.
I'm just telling you how it is.
They're a little more expensive and it's not necessarily necessary if you're looking at domains.
Now I had I use this service as well.
I didn't really like how they have the portal set up and all that it was confusing to me and I have
over 15 years of experience dealing with hosting and domains and it was not an enjoyable experience.
So
that's the domain register.
Now the other option that they have and you can see here are they have the trending teal D so they have
that online dot site that's stored at Web site dot tech and there's about 700 more that you can look
through.
So let me go back here and
they give you options.
They give you ideas or suggestions as well.
So like my domain twenty two dash shop my public domain twenty two groups that you know come so they're
showing you all the names that are available and giving you suggestions as well.
Such a nice feature.
The domain privacy is fifteen dollars a year.
So again this is to protect you from the WHO is database and keep your information private because it
is public record.
So if you don't have the privacy anybody can search for it and anybody can get it.
Because it's public domain basically.
So let's look at what's this.
Just real quick.
So the personal contact information for all domain owners is available online in the public who is directory.
Keep your identity private by opting into host gated domain privacy protection.
We hide your personal contact information from public view by replacing it with ours.
Protecting you from spam and identity theft.
So when I first was learning about domains they didn't even have this because it wasn't an issue.
But now there's so many domains out there and so many spammers and scammers and identity thieves that
you've got to be careful.
And so I do recommend doing that but I wouldn't use host cater for that I would use named cheap or GoDaddy
because they give you a better deal.
So that's the domain search and that's that option.
Now the other option that they have is you can transfer a domain.
So for example if I did forge your immediate outcome since I know this is on named cheap
we're in search and it says it can't be transferred.
So they have a checklist here.
The Domain has to be older than 60 days.
Host Kidder supports this domain type the domain far enough from expiration is the domain not currently
in redemption.
So no it's not a redemption.
This domain expires in a year host supports dot coms.
The domain is older than 60 days.
So this is something I learned actually and I had to deal this with Go Daddy to transfer to named Chip.
I bought this domain two years ago in October.
Right.
And I bought it and go daddy because I saw it on and I'm like I gotta buy this right now.
So bottom line Go Daddy made an account and I wasn't able to transfer it because it wasn't 60 days.
I had had ownership of it for 60 days.
So you have to own a domain for 60 days before you can transfer it.
You can't just buy it and then transferred out.
And then the other thing too is the domain is locked.
So what you do is in the portal they'll have an option where you can unlock the domain and then they
have a transfer code that you have to use in order to transfer it over to host cater or name cheap or
go daddy or any provider that you pick.
So that's the domain name option for host cater so I hope this helped you a little bit.
I'll see in the next video.
